Good luck as admin Para! Hopefully siege will start becoming a bit more disciplined now that we have an admin!

I play siege mainly most nights.  Other than Para being in a clan with Xeen, which makes him a horrible disgusting personage of dubious morals and character...

He is doing a fine job being an admin.    :D

Good unbiased Admin. Both Tugboat and I have received Kicks from the server by Para for various reasons, so he is very unbiased.


I had stepped outside to smoke and I think I left myself in spawn on offense (leeching I suppose) and Para kicked me from the server.



Good admin.

I saw him tell a person to run around. Then 30 seconds to a minute later gave him the boot. He came back and played later.
Another person, possibly the same, was naked and weaponless I believe and got the 24hour ban.

I approve :)

Para just a heads up/rule clarification: Opening the big gates in siege (the ones with the hold to open levers) is a hard no as a defender.  It is not permissible at anytime, even if the team decides thats the tactic they want to use.  If the team wants to go outside the castle, the small doors/gates that can be closed from outside with one click are fine.  This is per the devs, i got schooled on it myself.

But he's still KUTT.

Para Kutt is modifying banner balance when they are leaving the server so my teammate get split up just to piss us off, while all the Kutt clan is on he increase the banner balance so they can all stack the same team, and when they are leaving the server he set banner balance to have just splitted just because hes mad cause we are riding the 5x and they are enable to keep winning.

This... Is literally impossible, he can either have BB on, or turn it off with a very visible public message. There is no modification or way to "increase" BB, I was an NA admin and there is absolutely no interface for what you are describing as that would require a rewrite to the code itself for BB.

If Para attempted to change autobalance settings he would get a message that says "Your access level is not high enough."  Those settings can only be changed by the highest level admins, as they are not intended to be changed around.  Simply put, Para could not be altering balance with his admin powers.

Since a non-tears has spoken I may answer.
Not gonna lie it a lot of times seems like it is like that. Sometimes Kutt has somewhere around 10 people on the team and only three other people. Then other days a team with five members on it keeps them split up. But I assum it's like the upkeep cost some days it's just crazy while others it's resonable.

I would love an admin who turned off banner balance completely every time they joined a server.

Changing off of crappy maps is pretty rad too.

Post by: Vieuxcrotter on October 08, 2012, 12:20:13 am
Are you sure there is no way to change the banner balance soft cap to allow less or more players stacking the same team? Because this is a very strange coincidence, or you guys are just protecting him.

Oh and i remember the other night(months ago) asking an admin to increase the banner balance soft cap and he did it to my request to allow us to have more teammate in the same team.

This isn't really the place for a "how banner balance works" discussion, but since it seems necessary to defend Para's honor, I shall lay it forth anyhow!

There are 4 options for balance.  They are numbered 0-3 for optimum confusion generation.

0 - No Balance (you pick green team? you're on green team.)
1 - Autobalance (Banners not included)
2 - Banner Balance (Servers set to this as default, except Duel / Strat)
3 - Battlegroups (Duel / Strat set to this)

Even if Para somehow had the power to change that setting (which he doesn't) those are the only options.  There is no "mostly banner balance."

Banner Balance, however, will not create "unbalanced" teams.  I use quotation marks because "teamwork" is not a measurable variable, so the computer cannot calculate it into balance.  If the server is full, generally banners are more likely to be on the same team.  It is when your banner is the majority of the server, or when your average "value" is significantly higher than the average on the server that banners are most often split.

I'll go to siege and get some screenshots, look for an edit, coming soon!

Edit:
Here you go.  The admin panel portion relating to balance, revealed for all to see!

Note that Para and I have the same access level.  He would get that same purple text message.

Bold face Lies Braeden. I use to think you were cool but not anymore... oh wait I'm not an argumentative troll so thank you for this information it's interesting. But my comment still stands that it does seem like the banner stack works more or less on some days/maps.
You are both decent admins.

While you may hate me, and I don't like you, I wouldn't even attempt to do something like that to spite you or your friends. I don't want this to turn in to some kind of feud or something, but you need to stop thinking I'm personally attacking you or your clan.

Despite what everyone in the cRPG community thinks, KUTT encourages strong opposition. We consider your clan a great threat and we enjoy fighting you guys and respect you for being great siege players.

I don't like to be on anyone's bad side, I think cRPG would be a much better place if people didn't have so much hate for each other. I believe video games are much more enjoyable when everybody has a good time.
